Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.1 - 24.1, mean 18.2 °C (based on 40 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00366 - 0.01807), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.59 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 7.7 [1.1, 139.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.255 [0.025, 2.936] mg/100g; Protein = 20.1 [14.8, 25.3] %; Omega3 = 0.43 [0.13, 1.30] g/100g; Selenium = 8.78 [1.70, 44.63] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.32 [0.81, 102.75] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.528 [0.041, 5.686] mg/100g (wet weight);
